Production issue - Sender File adapter not picking up the files from folder

Hi Guys,
Ever since the upgrade from XI 3.0 to PI 7.1, we have come acrossinstances of weird error.
Thsi time again - now the 3rd time - tandom basis, in our production PI server, we have teh file slying in the source directory folder in the server.
I can see the files lying there in AL11.
However, it looks like that the file polling has just stopped and the channel is going blank in channel monitoring.
I have checked in SXMB_MONI and there are no messages since the morning.
I have tried craeting a replica of the current channel but it is not working.
This is teh production server and thsi has alraedy created production issues.
I ahve checked in the SDN forum but am not able to find the details.
Plaese help me.
I am anyway going to raise the issue with SAP now.
Regards,
Archana

Hi Prateek,
I have trying all sorts since the morning and then just checked teh file permissions.
The file permissions were incorrect as compared ot the other files that were processed successfully today.
Somehow the permissions were changed on the server and the interface channel was not able to poll the files.
I got teh permissions changed back to 666 and all the files were pikced up in a minute.
I got the folder checked and it seems like that the permissions were changed somewhere very early in the morning and we are trying to find out how it happened and who did that.
However, another question i had - this sender file adapter was polling the source directory and deleting the files from there.
I would have expected that if the channel had issues with the file permission because of which it was not able to access the file, it would have thrown an error something like the file permissions error.
But there was not a single error in the channel monitoring.
How can we configure it in a beter way so that we at least soem kind of error indication?
Please advice.
Regards,
Archana

  • Sender File Adapter not picking up the file

    Hello Experts,
    I have configured a sender file (FTP) adapter. All the configurations are right. The name of the file is given exactly as it is. The processing mode is Delete.
    The scenario was running fine till today. I only made changes to the path from which it has to pick the file. I have checked the path numerously and it is correct.
    But the file is not being picked up.
    Monitoring the communication channel shows no errors. It has the green indicator. No idea what is happening.
    Please Help,
    Regards,
    Merrilly

    Hi
    try to make some changes anf then again save and cativte the adapter. may be the adapter is not being activated.
    also check whether the cache is refreshed or not.
    or u can also check in the communication channel monitoring the channel is start or stop. if stop then start the channel and then try again.
    if u still face the problem please reply me back.
    Thanks

  • File Adapter Not picking the files

    Hi All,
    We have a process wherein the file adapter picks up the file from a particular location and it processed thereafter. We get the files once every month. We noticed that if the files that are being dazzled are of the same, i.e if the same nomenclature is there for the file that was dazzled the previous month, the adapter does not pick up the file. Only after renaming the file, it picks the file and processed them.
    Any idea why the files that are dazzled with the same name are not being picked up.
    Thanks in Advance...!!

    Hi,
    While configuring file adapter to pick up the files cross verify with file name putting in the directory location against the
    "Includes files with name pattern" "Excludes file with name pattern" file name..
    let say if u kept .*txt if picks the files txt with any name and one more think once after picking up the file from particular location are u enabling (delete file once read) option in configuration(It all depends on ur req)..
    cross check the schema element of the file pattern.

  • JDBC sender channel running but not picking up the data from sp

    Hi,
    One of the jdbc sender channels in production is running at its schedule time but it is not picking up the data from the sql side, we have checked with the sp side and they are saying that sp is running fine. No changes have been done in its configuration. Last message coming in RWB  is Retry interval started but that is of 1 day and its already been 3 days. I tried by starting and stopping the channel but of no use. The channel was re activated but that also didn't help.
    Please help, what can be the reason for the same.
    thanks.

    Hi,
    The JDBCadapter ( The respective channel) is definitely locked in PI . Ideally for each polling interval a lock is being created and once the processing is over , the lock should be released/deleted automatically to allow further polling interval. If the lock is not released by the system automatically,further polling will not happen as expected. ( This may affect all sender JDBC adapters as well. I would recommend to do a check in all sender JDBC communication channels)
    You can see/delete the locks in Visual admin.
    Go to Server>Services->Locking adapter and click refresh
    The entries for JDBC adapter ( with name $XIDBAD.JDBC2XI) should be deleted by selecting those particilar entries and click delete selected locks.
    If you have more than one node, then same should be done in all server nodes.
    The temprory solution would be creating/copy the existing channel in ID with same properties and assign it into particular sender agreement.
    But, the lock may be created again which potentailly stops all your database interfaces. Hence i would suggest to use Disconnect From Database After processing of Each messages in Advanced tab in the sender JDBC adapter.
    Hope this solves your issue.
    PS: The same bahaviour would expected for all file adapter as well

  • Xi server not picking up the file

    Hi,
    My Scenario is flat file to xml.I have declared all the file content conversion parameters and placed the input file in server.But the thing is XI server is not picking up the file.What could be the error.Does any error in content conversion has to do with XI-Server not picking up the file.
    Thanks,

    Hi Bhargav,
    go to SXMB_IFR -> Runtime Workbench -> component monitoring -> adapter engine -> adapter engine monitoring or to communication channel monitoring to see the error in your sender file adapter..........rectify this error in comm channel in ID.......set filemode to delete..........then activate yur comm channel.........then your source file will  be picked by XI........

  • File adapter should pick a single file at a time

    Hi,
        I have File to RFC scenario.. in my source directory  I'm getting bunch of files with  the same name.  at a time.. but  i want to pick the one by one only. that means.. my file adapater poll interval is 30 seconds.. every 30 seconds it will pick the one file.. even though there are multiple files.. but my file adapter should pick a single file ata time..
    but at present my file adapater was picking all the files ata time..  but i want to make my file adapter should pick single file ata time..
    for this.. any special  configuration we need to do..  or  any  ideas or suggestion  .. will be.. appriciated..
    regards
    Babu

    >>any special configuration we need to do..
    there is no default configuration to achieve this functionality.
    I speculate that any of this should work.
    1. Post the files to a intermediate directory and use a SCRIPT/Batch program to move only one file at a time frame to the source directory.
    2. Uncheck the option Process Read only files in the sender CC to prevent the file adapter to pick the read only files. Use a script that changes the permission of one file at a time so that the file adapter will pick that file alone.
    In both the cases the script needs to be scheduled at the OS level to run every 30 seconds.
    Thanks

  • Import Server not picking up the file

    Hello,
    I have 2 repositories running on the same server. Import server picks up file for one repository, but not for the other. What could be the reason? Also, for the repository, import server not picking up the file, workflow also does not send an email notification.
    Please help
    Subhash

    Hi Subhash,
    Hope you are not using the same Import Server for both the MDM Servers. If yes then you need to mention the MDM Sevrer name in the MDM Server parameter of MDIS.ini. Check the parameter list of MDIS.ini file.
    If your repository has password for Admin user then you need to specify the same in MDIS.ini file under your repository section for User = Admin and Passowrd = [Admin password]. Remove the E from the PAsswordE and give the password for Admin user. Once done restart the Import Server and check again, parameter Password would have converted to PasswordE.
    For Email Notification two things you need to check:
    1. You should have specified the mail server address in MDS.ini file under your repository section for parameter Mail Server.
    2. Workflow owner should have entry in Email address field of the user. Check this in Console under Admin -> Users.

  • PO not picking up the Price from Info Record ???

    Hi,
    Pricing Procedure and the Schema Grp is defined in Schema Determination in SPRO.
    Schema Grp has been assigned in the Vendor Master.
    Price has been maintained in the PB00 condition type in the Condition Supplements screen, but shows 'Zero' in the 'Purchasing Org. Data 1' screen of Info Record.
    However, while creating PO the system does not pick up the Price from the Info Record and both the Condition Types PB00 and PBXX appears and display the Amount as 0.00 ? Also the system does not take the value entered in the 'Net Price' field and the Price can only be entered manually in the Conditon Type in the Conditions Tab ?
    Can anyone help in resolving this issue ?
    Lucky.

    Hi Lucky
    1.Routine 6
    This is an example of a pricing requirement.  This requirement is met if the condition exclusion indicator is not equal to 'X'.  <b>This requirement can be assigned to a condition type in the pricing procedure to ensure that it is not accessed when a condition record with exclusion indicator 'X' has already been found</b>.  Condition exclusion is a general tool that can be used to exclude conditions from pricing based on previous conditions that have been found in the pricing procedure.  This requirement is intended for use in MM pricing versus SD pricing.  For SD pricing, a variation of requirement '2' should be used which would also check to see if the item category is relevant for pricing
    2. You have define all your supplementory condition in supplementory pricing procedure and you have to assign this supplementory procedure to your Condition type PB00.Then all these conditions will be displayed at item level for selection in drop down.
    Since the supplementory conditions are dependent on PB00, you have assign to the PB00.
    If you maintain the values for these conditions in info record, these values will be copied from info to PO.

  • The Following Files Could Not Be Imported (The File Is an Unrecognized Form

    I have a Kodak z712 and when I plug in the camera into my macbook, all i get is that the images are loading. They never do, and the screen just freezes.
    When I select any photo and click on import selected, I get the following error:
    The Following Files Could Not Be Imported (The File Is an Unrecognized Format)
    They are all .jpg format though so I don't know why it would say that.
    Any thoughts or advice on this would be a great help,

  • Sender File adapter not picking the file ABCD.PRN extension file

    Hi
    Am doing File to Abap Proxy scenario. My source will be in text format of fixed length of fileds 7.
    My souce file will be generated by a third party machine with the extension EEE150809.PRN. In my scenario my file adapter should pick the file and update the same in ECC via a Proxy.
    I have configured the Sender File adapter with Message Protocol -  Content Conversion but file adapter is not picking the file. I have checked the Communication channel and status is fine. But the same Communication Channel works for .XML file.
    What are the parameters that I have to consider with the file extension .PRN using File adapter?
    Thanks.
    S.

    Hi Swarna,
    You dont need to worry about the extension when picking the file. You can try using EEE* so that is picks all the files starting with EEE. If you have the fixed name then you can try giving EEE150809.*. Also EEE150809.PRN should not have any issue. Try to see in sender commu ication cahnnel for anyerrors. Probably there might be some network issues or authorisation issues. If you are reading with NFS then ask them to give necessary permissions. If you are reading through FTP check the user id and pwd you are using.

  • Sender File Adapter  not able to get file via FTP from an external system

    Hi,
    I have a Sender File Adapter using FTP which polls a server every 10 seconds looking for a file ".xml".  The adapter will connect and pick up the waiting file, but sometimes the adapter not able to get file via FTP from an external system. The file is on the server, but despite the polling, the adapter does not pick up it. There is no return error.
    The connect mode is Permanently and the transfer mode is Binary.
    Can you help me?
    Thanks.
    T.

    Hi Teresa,
    does this case appears with a file size higher the others?
    Personally, I do not recommend to have a polling under 1min.
    10s could be too just, if the file is not small and/or if the file server is far (several kilometers) to where the Adapter Engine is, and/or this file server is beside a firewall. Do not forget also that, with previous points, you could have like a conflict, betwen the 1st polling and the 2nd polling, if in less 10s PI adapter has not enough time: to connect to the FTP server (several Km), find the file (perhaps among 100 other files in the directory), go back to the file to Adapter Engine server (several Km again), convert your file to XML message (with a complex Content Conversion), then check the XML structure, and when all that is done, return back to FTP server (several Km), to archive the source file... Well It's my understanding of a FTP exchange with FILE adapter...
    If you really need a 10s polling, that's mean your have a pseudo real time interface. In that case, in my mind file should not be used! but we should use a Web service, JDBC JMS (any exchange without a physical object like a file). For me, it's a non-sens to have a file in that case.

  • File Adapter not picking the file

    Hi Experts,
      I am trying to create a Legacy-XI-R/3 scenario. I am using a file adapter as the sender communication channel and a ABAP proxy at the receiver end. I have given the path of my input file in the legacy system, but the file is not picked up by the adapter. Can any one tell me where I might have gone wrong?

    Hi,
       Just want to add one more suggestion.
    Check the Host name, where the File is kept and try to use the directory path as
    <HostName>\<DirName>.
    Hope this help.

  • File adapter to pick a single file

    The scenario is PI File adapter would pick files from a 3rd party FTP location. The 3rd party is placing files with file names using date time stamp.
    The requirement is to process one file at a a time - I have mentioned the Processing Sequence as 'By Date' which means the adpater would pick the files sequentially. But I want the adapter to pick only one file at a time rather than picking all the available files in the system.
    Is that possible to do?
    Thanks.
    Anuradha.

    Hi Anuradha,
      Could you please kindly provide answers to the queries below so that forum members can have a clear picture of your requirement
    1. What is the operating system of your PI server?
    2. What is the version of PI you are working on?
    3. What exactly do you mean by statement " I want the adapter to pick only one file at a time rather than picking all the available files in the system."  since adapter will actually pick up files one by one only in each polling interval. This goes in PI pipeline
    one after another in quick succession.
    4. Do you mean that you want to insert delays between successive file pick up then Baskar has already answered your question.
    5. Do you want the channel to pick up only one file in a day out of all possible file?
    6. Could you please kindly provide any sample file name you are receiving in PI ?
    regards

  • InD blocking Ps to save a file / Could not save * because the file is already in use error

    Many users have reported a  Photoshop Could not save * because the file is already in use error in many different circumstances.
    I place raw jpgs in InDesign document, then open them in Photoshop via Edit original order to adjust them. On random occasions Ps gives me that annoying error. So i found a little trick to avoid saving that image under a different name and relinking it plus reloading Ps since the error repeats on other pictures to.
    All you have to do is: when Ps gives error, (Cmd-Tab) switch to InD, directly select the worked jpg in image frame (one that you try to save in Ps)  and simply move it left-right (or move it and Undo). Now you can save it without problem.

    JPEG is a "lossy" compression format. Every time you save as jpeg you recompress and throw away a little more information. In addition, jpeg does not support transparency or layers, both very useful features for woring with images. For example, you can add an adjustment layer in Photoshop to do your adjustments non-destructively for may of the things that you can do using Image > Adjustments... which will change your pixel data permanently. Throw away an adjustment layer and you image data is untouched. Also, ID allows you to place a layered image and control layer visibility from within ID, making it possible to multi-purpose a single file by showing or hiding various layers.

  • Name of files do not appear in the files section

    I've been using Adobe Audition 3.0 for three years now and it has been FANTASTIC.  (on a 3 year old Dell with the Vista OS).
    However, something quirky happened this morning that is frustrating....when I drag an audio file onto my workstation, like I always do, the actual wave appears on my timeline, BUT, the name of the file  no longer appears in the files section to the left of the workstation.
    I've re-started my compter several times to no avail.  Has anybody else ever experienced this problem?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!   I have an impending deadline due for a large project  and this sudden disappearance of file names has rendered my Audition virtually unusable.
    Thanks again.

    There are some buttons right at the bottom of the Files window under the Sort By box that allow you to show or hide different file types. Perhaps one of those has become unclicked.
